The neuromuscular and cardiovascular effects and endotracheal intubating conditions of bolus intravenous rocuronium 0.6mg/kg or 0.75mg/kg in 20 patients under balanced anesthesia,were studied, Intubating conditions were evaluated as excellent or good in all patients,except for one with poor intubating conditions following 0.6mg/kg. Onset times of both groups were 73.1 s and 67.1 s;neuromuscular blockade durations 24.9min and 32.0min; 25% recovery times 37.3min and 45.4min; 75% recovery times 46.4min and 58.7min;recovery index 9.1min and 13.3min,respectively. The cardiovascular effects after rocuronium in both groups were minimal.

Objective To investigate radiation dose to the patients undergoing interventional radiology and make radiation risk assessment.Methods Data was collected on 198 instances of 10 interventional radiology procedures by using Philips Allura Xper FD20 DSA, which was equipped with the transparent ionization chamber system in compliance with IEC 60601-2.Patient peak skin dose and effective dose were estimated.Results Cumulative fluoroscopy time was 2.1 - 80.9 min, and number of images monitored for PSD were above 1 Gy and 79 cases monitored for E were above 20 mSv.Conclusions Substantial number of cases exceeded the dose threshold for erythema.Due attention should be paid to radiation protection of patients.

Objective To discuss the application of C-arm CT scanning technology in performing transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatic cancer.Methods Seventy-seven patients of hepatic cancer were treated with selective transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE),which was followed by C-arm CT scanning to observe the embolization effect.C-arm CT scanning was also performed before TACE in 13 cases.Three-dimension reconstruction of the images was carried out on Integris 3D-RA workstation.The therapeutic results were evaluated.Results The embolization state of both the peripheral margin and the body of the tumor could be clearly displayed on CT scans in all 77 patients.Some tiny liver lesions were also detected in 3cases.Conclusion C-arm CT scanning technology is a newly-developed high-tech examination.This examination is very helpful for making the proper operation scheme and for evaluating the curative effect of intravascular intervention.Compared to the traditional CT scanning,C-arm CT scanning can provide more accurate information and stereoscopic image of the lesions,therefore,the whole course of the interventional procedure can be entirely under the operator's control and the curative effect can be evaluated at any time during the operation.C-arm CT scanning can be effectively employed in interventional therapy for multisystemic disorders.
